Why TFM?
Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) offers the FMC—An Acquisition Strategy TFM—Image Reconstruction
capability to electronically steer and focus beams
1 The first element transmitter is 2 All of the elements receive the 4 Element 2 pulses, and the cycle 5 All of the elements receive the 6
pulsed from a probe, producing multiple A-scans activated returning acoustic pulses in parallel continues returning acoustic pulses in parallel Delay
Delay and sum processing is
applied to all the A-scans, using
that are assembled in frames at a relatively high the expected delay for a selected
Sum mode of propagation to a specific
rate. However, one drawback is that the frames position in the TFM zone
are focused at a single, constant depth. Reflectors 1 1
